rancatore's ice cream & yogurt

Rancatore's Ice Cream & Yogurt is a must-visit for ice cream lovers. Service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Rancatore's is definitely worth a visit for a delicious frozen delight.

For some context, I used to work here back in high school and Joe is big on taking care of all his bases when it comes to the store: happy customers, quality ice cream, and happy staff-most of which are high schoolers. The ice cream is made local and delivered everyday to each of the locations.

The store has rotating flavors with six ice cream flavors that are in the store year round: 1. Vanilla or Vanilla Bean or French Vanilla, 2. Hydrox (cookies and cream but with hydrox cookies), 3. Milk Chocolate, 4. Bittersweet Chocolate (dark chocolate), 5. Sweet Cream (the base for all the ice cream), and 6. Coffee, and these are all located together near the register. They typically have two frozen yogurt flavors and one to two sorbet flavors. The rest will rotate and they can vary from extremely esoteric flavors like Kulfi (indian frozen dairy dessert) and Tiger's Milk (frosted flake) to coconut or salted caramel. And no, they don't have soft serve here.

Came here on a hot summer day and spent $5 on a micro (one large scoop) with Cocoa Joel which is a blend of their Milk and Bittersweet(dark) chocolate ice cream that has chocolate chips and hydrox cookies(Oreo like cookie). I've always been a fan and couldn't be more happy with the quality and the consistency of the ice cream over the years. A little bummed out that the prices have gone up to $5 for one scoop though!

The store was recently repainted black and red, and there are all new tables and seats! Come here if you want to try some solid ice cream!

Perfect mid afternoon spot for ice cream with outdoor seating. Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly vibes

Great ice cream, fair price. They also have multiple vegan ice cream flavors. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The space is a bit small, but it's well worth visiting.

This place has so many delicious and unique flavors. Love that they are always rotating them. I always have to sample a few before I order because there are just so many interesting choices!

Home made ice cream at it's best. Clean, airy store in the center of downtown Belmont. Friendly, young, hard working young servers. Ice cream cakes. Top quality but not inexpensive. Highly recommended.

Wasn't near Rancatores so stopped in at other Belmont ice cream store.M----- mistake! Ordered chocolate ice cream cone. Didn't even taste like chocolate wasn't even dark in color. RANCATORES RULES

Best ice creams ever! Nutella + Hydrox = happiness on earth.

Very unique flavors and amazing creamy Frozen Yogurt. I highly recommend the Ginger Froyo in combination with the Mango sorbet.

This is a great ice cream shop staffed mainly by young local kids. They even have a college fund tip jar with the logos of where the students are headed (or maybe currently attending, too!)

They have a wide variety of flavors and not always the same ones. I am allergic to chocolate and they have opened new ice cream containers to ensure there was no cross contamination from a chocolate tub.

I almost always get their ice cream, but most recently got their mango sorbet, it was fantastic.

This is a great local spot, there is always a line, but it moves quickly. They have set up some outdoor seating and there are some city benches in front of the store as well so you can still sit and enjoy your ice cream or treat even though indoor seating is currently still not available.

great ice cream & service, thank you! went on a Friday night so there were a good amount of people but didn't take too long.

Local ice cream and frozen yogurt. Unpretentious. Great flavors and quality—what more could one ask for?

Best mango sorbet I've ever had and the other vegan flavors (all soy based) are fabulous.

The rasmalai flavor is very delicious. Best ice cream chain in Boston. Their Indian ice cream flavors are too good. Highly recommend trying them. Need more chains around Boston and Nashua

I got a pint to go. There are always any number of delicious flavors each day but they are not always the same. Call ahead if you want something specific.

With no hazelnut on the menu today, chocolate orange and salted caramel make a great combination. I also added some bittersweet chocolate.

There was no line and the server was friendly. Being a cold winter day, I got the ice cream home before it melted though I live about 15 minutes away. It wouldn't make it home in the summer without mostly melting.

Bon appetit.

Great stop for classically-made ice cream. They have a fun rotating menu of a lot of different (and interesting) flavors. The staff is great, and I've never had a flavor I didn't love. One of my favorite dessert places.

Vegan coconut ice cream is definitely the best I've had. (coconut flavor, soy based)

Our go to place for frozen stuff. Super cool creative flavors. Kiddos say: this place is great. Actually. Better than great. Indont like it. I love it. Like odd flavors? Try the Bombay. Amazing. Chocolate Earl Grey is fantastic. Delicious every time. Also have some rotating sorbets that are great as well. Right now the cranberry is super tasty.

Lovely ice cream shop with really unique flavors. They swap flavors out every few days so that there's always a new and interesting selection. My favorite flavor is the matcha green tea.

Rancatore’s is a spectacular ice cream place. The prices are very reasonable, the staff is friendly and helpful and the ice cream is delicious. The flavors change every week and the creativity will please you. A good thing to know is that the sprinkles are free of charge! Ranc’s is a great place to go to if your in the area and you will not be disappointed! My personal favorite flavor is strawberry but all the flavors are great.
